ROADWORKS: LONG WAIT ALMOST OVER
End in sight CARINA ROUX
T
he long-awaited completion of the roadworks on Langverwacht Road should – if all goes well – be done by mid-June. When the City of Cape Town’s transport and urban development authority announced construction would commence in February 2018 it was envisaged that it would take 24 months to turn the 1,3km section of Langverwacht Road between Amandel and Zevenwacht Link roads into a dual carriageway. This was however subject to ‘‘all permits and contractual documentation being in place, suitable weather conditions, and no other unforeseen delays.”

Felicity Purchase, the City’s Mayco member for transport, says the delay was due to unknown underground services, some additional work, and a delay in the relocation of electrical cables. “Currently, if no further delays are experienced, estimated completion is expected by the second week in June. Everything possible is done to meet this timeline.” In light of rumours doing the rounds on social media about the contractor being replaced, Purchase denied that another contractor was appointed to complete the project. She confirmed an extension to complete the work was granted. “In accordance with the contract a contractor can ask for the contract time to be extended when there are de-

lays not attributed to them, and when additional work is added. We have altered the design of the intersection of Langverwacht and Zevenwacht Link roads to add an extra right-turn lane to assist with the traffic flow, and to relief traffic congestion. The extension of time is managed strictly in accordance with the contract.” The roadworks also includes: . the construction of traffic circles at the intersections of Langverwacht and Saxdowns roads and Langverwacht Road and Jagters Street; . construction of a median for separating the carriageways, and installation of streetlights along the median; . enlarging of the traffic circle at the inter-
section at Langverwacht Road, Fisant and Kloof streets; and . the upgrading of the intersection at Langverwacht and Zevenwacht Link roads to accommodate the widened road. This intersection will remain signalised. When TygerBurger reported on the roadworks in January last year (“Long wait is still not over”, 30/01/2019) Purchase said that 40% of the work was completed then. Delays were then already experienced “as a result of a number of underground services, such as electrical cables that needed to be dealt with, and flooding down the Langverwacht Canal that led to a delay in the construction of the stormwater culvert in winter.”
